Systems-level thinking has transformed how we study life across scales, from molecules and cells to populations, communities ...

A groundbreaking study has found that evolution is not as unpredictable as previously thought, which could allow scientists to explore which genes could be useful to tackle real-world issues such as ...

Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before scientists' eyes. The marine snails were reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom wiped them out from the skerry. While the researchers intentionally brought ...

“Where are all the genetic cures?” asks Denis Noble, a frustrated biophysicist, Royal Society fellow and pioneer of the field of systems biology. “They don’t exist. Where will they be? They won’t ...

A new study from the University of Michigan suggests that organisms could get better at evolving over time. Researchers used a computer program to simulate organisms switching between beneficial and ...

New evidence published today in the journal Science upends decades of evolutionary theory about when animals first walked on ...

A fish thought to be evolution’s time capsule just surprised scientists. A detailed dissection of the coelacanth — a 400-million-year-old species often called a “living fossil” — revealed that key ...

Spanish biologist Ignacio Paulin became fascinated by the behavior of these fish, in a project that could now disappear due ...
